    Re: New Year Resolutions!

    Resolutions/Goals for 2009
    1) Continue learning more Armenian words and grammar. Hopefully I'll be functionally fluent by the end of this year if I keep doing what I've been doing.
    2) Finish some Armenian books I've had lying around («Բիւրեղներ» Յակոբ Անտոնեան-ով, «Պտոյտ Մը Պոլսոյ Թաղերու Մէջ» Յակոբ Պարոնեան-ով, «Քաջն Նազար» Համաստեղ-ով, եւլն...)
    3) Get all my apps/financial aid in on time so I can get out of this gas booth.
    4) Start running again so I can actually (comfortably) button my suit.*
    5) Start studying Russian in depth for the coming year when I'll be taking it in school.
    6) Stop being so hard on myself.
    7) Try to only speak Armenian with people who can speak it. (Harder than it sounds.)

    I can't think of more at the moment...

    (*I'm not fat but I did gain the "freshman 15" when I was at college last year. Hopefully I'll be able to get down to 150 again, maybe not. )

          I think it's more of a habitual attitude type of thing than anything else. The more we practice giving and being endearing to the needs of others without expecting something in return, the more it will solidify into a good habit, and should you ever slip up again someday with selfcenteredness, it'll be an isolated case and not a mark that you lack integrity at a gross level in your social existence.

          I think another part of it is just wanting too much attention form others, especially after we over-think about something we want from them. Later, when we do see these persons of interest, whether it's based on love or hate, we can be very demanding in our dealings with them, and thus, not very empathetic.

          Some people have no problems with being like this it seems, and live for years being selective of who they'd like to treat well or not be too demanding of. But I see these same people complain a great deal about those they find "annoying", "stupid", "repulsive", etc... I don't seek to think negatively of others (I just never felt comfortable doing so and whenever I tried to, I either felt like forced myself to, or that I realized it was not emotionally profitable to keep this attitude up later on), so their model of social interaction doesn't seem to cut it for me.
